Nap Attack
Virginia Salter

Nap attack
if I had whiskers
they’d be inching forward
then spreading wide
between clenched eyes
and gaping hole
ringed with sharp-pointed teeth

my motor
would be revving up
for a curl up on the sofa
or a wonderful lap
at the hand

I’d be preparing to dream
of rats and mice
birds so nice
feathered with down and quill

yet of whiskers
I’m absent
and purring tool
have I

so, I’ll just
click on the save
put to sleep
on the page
this message of sweet solitude

not wanting to be rude
I’d say
“See ya, dude!”
and I’d crawl to my curl up
glade

“Good nap, for now, Sweet Friend!”
